How to play, step by step

Come back to this guide whenever you need help.

  1. Choose your character

    Select “Start playing”, pick a nickname and draw a pixel-art avatar if you like. Press “Save character”.

  2. Pick an adventure

    Choose “Play” from the adventures list. If you have played before, you can “Continue” or start a “New game”.

  3. Read the scene

    Look at the illustration, if one is shown, and carefully read the title and description. A clue may be hidden in a sentence.

  4. Explore with the arrows

    Use ↑ ↓ ← → to move. Check your map to get your bearings and remember where you have been.

  5. Interact with words

    Choose “Examine”, “Take”, “Say” or “Listen”. Type an object or word when asked; “Listen” needs no text.

  6. Use your backpack

    Items you collect appear in your backpack. You may “Use” one or “Combine” two when the adventure allows it. Read any clues you have found.

  7. Keep reading to progress

    Your decisions can unlock scenes and earn ⭐ points. Returning in the same browser lets you continue your save.

Three things to remember

  • The arrows cannot always take you forward: a door or obstacle may block the way. Read the explanation.
  • Not every object can be picked up. Sometimes you must examine it or solve something first.
  • Your progress is stored in this browser. Deleting its data or switching devices may mean losing your save.
